I haven't been buying JLA (the first story arc bored me to tears) but the recent arc had Batman fighting Karate Kid and the writer blew it off?"<BR/><BR/>Essentally, yeah.<BR/><BR/>Meltzer showed the beginning of the fight. Then, a few pages later we see a picture of Batman with a cracked cowl, then later we flash to a shot of Karate Kid holding Batman's utility belt, WITHOUT SEEING HOW EITHER OF THOSE TWO RESULTS HAPPENED. <BR/><BR/>Oh, don't worry. I could still see the full fight-- IF I also picked up COUNTDOWN#50! <BR/><BR/>So not only am I paying $3 extra for a fight that SHOULD have been featured in its entirety in the original $3 comic, but I'm also seeing the bulk of that fight with inferior blocky art instead of art by the awesome Shane Davis.<BR/><BR/>Who's lamer, Meltzer, or me for shelling out the extra $3?notinthefacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537680561821564347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-21155238594376930952007-06-22T16:56:00.000-04:002007-06-22T16:56:00.000-04:00I'm sure Waid will do justice to Linda.

IIRC, in an old interview he gave around the time of Flash 100, he said the only reason he never wanted to leave Flash was because he was afraid of what the next writer would do to Linda. He really loves the character and I expect him to really develop her as a wife, mother, and maybe even a reporter again, in the upcoming series. <BR/><BR/>And btw, true enough, the next regular team: Millar/Morrison...they killed off Linda.Zeb Aslamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10408536394469745305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-59138423982126636062007-06-22T12:01:00.000-04:002007-06-22T12:01:00.000-04:00Maybe Geo-Force is who Brainiac 5 has "got" in his...Maybe Geo-Force is who Brainiac 5 has "got" in his lightning rod.

(Waid fleshed her out quite a bit, though.)<BR/><BR/>Another problem -- where was Geo-Force? (A nice problem to have, but still a problem in this case.) After shoehorning him into the first few parts of the crossover, he does nothing here -- I don't think he even bothered to show up.
